The SN74LVTH373DWR from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, octal transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs designed to provide efficient interfacing to bus-oriented systems. The device operates as eight latches with a common Latch Enable (LE) input and a common Output Enable (OE) input. When LE is high, the flip-flops appear transparent to the data, and when LE is low, the data that meets the setup time is latched. The OE input activates or deactivates the outputs, making it easy to interface with bus lines in a bus-organized system.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Octal Transparent D-Type Latches
• Operating Voltage: 2.7V to 3.6V, compatible with 5V TTL logic levels
• Output Type: 3-State, enabling bidirectional data flow with bus-oriented systems
• Package: Supplied in a wide-body, 20-pin SOIC package, ideal for space-constrained applications
• High Drive: Capable of driving 15 LSTTL loads

Applications

Thanks to its versatile design, the SN74LVTH373DWR is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Memory storage and retrieval
• Bus interface or bus switching
• Peripheral drivers
• Data communication systems

Performance Advantages

The device boasts a balanced propagation delay and transition times, which ensures improved system performance. Its low-voltage, high-speed operation is optimized for 3.3V systems but is tolerant to 5V signals, allowing for easy integration with legacy systems. Additionally, the SN74LVTH373DWR features a bus-hold circuitry that eliminates the need for pull-up or pull-down resistors, saving board space and reducing system cost.

Environmental & Quality Certifications

The SN74LVTH373DWR complies with RoHS standards, ensuring environmental responsibility. It is also supported by Texas Instruments' commitment to quality, backed by rigorous testing and adherence to industry standards.
